They should've used lasagna. You could be in a tundra heating it over a fire and, as long as you get it sufficiently and consistently hot, it'll still burn your mouth 20minutes later.

I was recently wondering if any particular type of food contributes to mouth cancer prevalence and I concluded that at the top of that list would be be lasagna and cherry tomato on a pizza/in a soup.

Why?

Try Toast Hawaii. The weird mix of ham, pineapple and cheese the Germans make.

I am still convinced the lava cheese insulator is there only to burn people's insides with boiling pineapple.

Thanks for the recommendation, I will go out and try this, despite the belief that some people hold about Hawaii Toast giving you cancer[1].

But that’s because of the water content of pineapple, so now we’re back at water..

Although pineapple flavoured floor heating does sound delicious.

It's actually the same physics: layers, trapped moisture, and phase changes holding onto heat way longer than you expect

And yet, if you make it like I do, there always manages to be one piece that is ice cold while the rest is shockingly hot. Even if you're start with warm ingredients.

Physics does not apply to lasagna.

Also I suck at making lasagna.

I don't know how you cook your lasagna, but cooking for longer at a lower temperature usually results in more even heating than cooking for less long at a higher temperature. (This is one of the reasons microwaves are so terrible at heating evenly.) If you're not already, that may help.

(I also imagine using the circulation in a convection oven might help as well. Also, preheating your oven! Even if it's a toaster oven.)

To whatever degree you are serious, this can be a phase change thing.

Cheese melting takes energy Cheese freezing, releases energy.

So you do actually get the temperature to remain at the melting point of the cheese for a longer period of time if you have enough % cheese to be significant.

Also pies

Sometimes I wonder if the people trying to create a fusion reactor have ever made a baked potato, because I swear it's halfway there.
